Wu Du, the two immortals were battling.

After experiencing this earth-shattering scene, even though night had fallen, Wu Dai was still like an excited beast, with no intention of sleeping.

On the main street, the crowd bustled with discussion, and sounds of clamoring unceasingly rang out from the teahouses and restaurants.

The crowd couldn't help but look in the direction of the imperial palace, their eyes full of happiness.

Tonight, the banquet for Wu Yu was being held in the 'Sky Wu Palace'. This was the highest standard of welcome since the founding of the Eastern Yue Wu Country. Because the main characters were the deities and the emperors of the mortal world, most of the maids who poured wine and set up the banquet had chosen the most stunning looks, and most of them even had martial arts skills.

After Wu Yu arrived, Xi Fei, Yuan Hao, and the others stood up to greet him. It had been a long time since they had come so close to him, and his gaze would occasionally fall on the enchanting woman beside him, whose heart was filled with snakes and scorpions. It was fortunate that he had a mask on, otherwise, they would have seen Wu Yu's cold face.

Wu Yu didn't listen to the rest of the introductions. After all, he was familiar with everything about the East Wu. The Tianwu Palace had come many times, but they were once the master and now were the guests.

Strangely, the main table in the most central position today was actually empty. Grand Immortal Haotian and Yuan Chen were on both sides of the table, while the Empress and Yuan Hao were even lower. In addition to the four of them, there was another person present. That was Princess Wuyou, whom Wu Yu had been thinking about day and night. She was sitting in a corner, looking down at the table with a calm expression.

With her by his side, Wu Yu felt more at ease in his heart, no matter what saber lights or bloody shadows he saw tonight. This was a habit he had formed since he was young. She was a safe sister.

Haotian raised his cup and said: "Old Brother, this humble Taoist will introduce you." As he spoke, he introduced the empress dowager, the emperor, Yuan Hao, and Princess Wuyou. When he spoke of Princess Wuyou, Wu You nodded at Wu Yu, his eyes meeting hers.

Compared to the past, her eyes were dimmer, but they were the window to her soul. In that moment, Wu Yu noticed the sudden change in her expression and knew that she was suspicious of his identity, so he quickly shifted his gaze away. He didn't want Princess Wuyou to recognize him on this occasion.

When Princess Wuyou was mentioned, Emperor Yuan Hao suddenly smiled and said, "Great Immortal Sun, it's not only you. In a few days, I, Wu Du, will have more guests. Furthermore, they are people of noble status."

Yuan Hao had always been eager to show off his skills since he was young. However, he had always been suppressed by Wu Yu. He had not spoken for such a long time. He was probably feeling extremely stifled.

"Oh, could it be that someone is fighting with me for the position of Imperial Protector?" Wu Yu's gaze pierced through the demon monkey mask and pierced into Emperor Yuan Hao's eyes, instantly causing the latter to feel a terrifying pressure.

"That is... That was … Do you know of the Eastern Divine Kingdom of the East Sea? This is a joyous event between me and the Eastern Divine Kingdom. Then, the king of the Eastern Divine Kingdom, will soon marry our Princess Wuyou as her wife and establish her as the empress of the Eastern Divine Kingdom. In a few days, she will come to the Wu Capital to get married.

Crack!

The golden wine cup in Wu Yu's hand was instantly crushed into a golden paste.

To tell the truth, after Wu Yu heard the news, he had the urge to first smash Yuan Hao into meat paste with the Demon Subduing Rod.

First of all, this was clearly a political marriage, and second of all, the Eastern Divine Kingdom's Sovereign King, Wu Yu, was extremely familiar with it. His army had once resisted this pirate from the East China Sea, and that Nine Annihilations Monarch was a demon that killed people without blinking an eye, and the number of wronged souls under his command was estimated to be hundreds of thousands.

This group of robbers had directly cut off all routes to commerce in the Donwu Sea, and they even went ashore from time to time to kill and rob.

Wu Yu once swore that after he ascended the throne, he would destroy this group of bandits. Unexpectedly, upon their return this time, Haotian and the others actually betrothed Princess Wuyou to the Nine-Healing King. It was obvious that they were sending Wu You to a fiery pit.

Fury!

However, there was another voice in his heart that made Wu Yu suppress his fury.

That was reason.

"Anyway, I came back in time. Big Sister hasn't even married into the Eastern Divine Kingdom, much less come into contact with the Nine Annihilations Monarch. Something hasn't happened yet. "

If he came back too late, he reckoned that he would have killed his way into the Eastern Divine Kingdom by now.

Since nothing had happened, now was the time to not let his anger submerge his rationality. Now that Clear Sky Immortal was more powerful than him, if he did not deal with it well and his identity was exposed, not only would his life be in danger, even Wu You would be unable to escape his fate of suffering.

Once it was related to Wu You's fate, then he couldn't act carelessly.

"Grand Immortal Sun?" When Clear Sky Immortal saw Wu Yu break the wine cup, he naturally had doubts in his heart.

Wu Yu knew that he couldn't show it, so he thought for a moment and recalled the contents of the 'Eastern Victory Divine Continent'. He then coldly said, "This so-called Eastern Divine Kingdom should be a newly established country. "As far as I know, the East Sea is the territory of the 'Ghost Cultivators'. This State Protector couldn't be a Ghost Cultivator, right?"

Ghost Cultivator.

Wu Yu understood from the Eastern Victory Divine Continent that spectral cultivators were the third largest power apart from cultivators and demons.

There was a saying that said there were five bugs in total for all living things in this world. There are five kinds of insects: Divider worm, Feather worm, Caterpillar worm, Scaled worm and Mesopotamian worm. Ying insects were just mortals, the other four were flying birds, animals, fish, and insects.

Aside from mortals, the other four categories of cultivators all had good fortune and intelligence. They were all demons. There were also plants, rocks, and other dead beings that gained good fortune and became demons. A mortal who trained in the Dao was a cultivator.

However, the so-called Dao could be divided into two main paths.

One was the orthodox Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao, the Dao allowed by the Heavens, the Dao allowed by the Immortal. Most of the Dao that Wu Yu saw was this Dao, which could be called the Dao of Heavenly Immortals.

The other path was called the Dao of Yin, the Dao of plundering. In order to be strong, one had to go against the heavens, they had to be strong, they had to be strong, and they even had to be strong.

Legend has it that cultivation of the Dao of Celestial Immortals allowed one to gain the Dao to become a True Immortal!

No matter what one did, they would have to go through ten thousand hells to cultivate the path of the Gods and Ghosts. They would suffer for all eternity, never to reincarnate.

However, these were all legends.

In order to become powerful, there were still many people who practiced the path of ghosts and gods. These people lived in darkness and were very cunning. Compared to devouring demons, they were even more hated by cultivators.

People who cultivated the path of ghosts and gods were called: spectral cultivators.

There were countless islands in the East China Sea. It was said that in the sunrise, there were four huge islands in the area where the sunlight shone the brightest. The total size of the islands was about one tenth of the size of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.

Supreme Celestial and Ghost cultivators were all Ying Worms, and were all human beings.

Magical beasts were the other four insects.

No matter what, ghost cultivators and demons were the greatest enemies of cultivators.

When Wu Yu heard about the Eastern Divine Kingdom's Protector Immortals, he could roughly guess who they were. Both the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Central Yuan Dao Sect were orthodox sects. Therefore, when he heard the news about the spectral cultivator, his reaction was quite normal.

In reality, the reason why he broke the wine cup was because of Wu You.

Thus, Highest Immortal Clear Sky didn't suspect anything. He smiled and said, "Old Brother, you're thinking too much. The Eastern Divine Kingdom's Heavenly Imperial Protector isn't a ghost cultivator. You don't have to get excited at all. "

"That's good." Wu Yu didn't care if he was a ghost cultivator or not, he had no choice but to take Wu You away.

He glanced at Wu You. From the blank look in her eyes, she must have resigned herself to her fate. However, Wu Yu knew her personality the best. Presumably, she had already prepared herself to commit suicide.

"Since she's back in time, I'll save her."

The banquet continued for a while. At this time, Yuan Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Sun, today I am going to introduce you to an important person." You must not be frightened. "

A big shot?

How could there be such a big shot here?

In a place like Wu Du, they were all extremely powerful.

This turn of events was out of Wu Yu's expectations. However, he had a premonition that the banquet today wouldn't be as simple as it seemed. It seemed that the other party was going to make a move.

Sure enough, at this time, High Immortal Clear Heaven and the other three Great Immortal stood up with smiles on their faces. When Princess Wuyou saw this, she also quickly stood up to welcome this important person.

"Little brother, I advise you to stand up." Before, Great Immortal Haotian was extremely enthusiastic, but now, his attitude changed drastically, just like when he was cold and detached at Xihe Palace.

Wu Yu really wanted to see who else would come. Just as he stood up, a figure descended from outside the palace and entered the center in the blink of an eye, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

It was a tall and sturdy man, not any weaker than Wu Yu. He wore a bright silver overcoat, and on the outside was a beast fur cloak. On the cloak was a piece of fox skin, which was attached to Wu Yu's head. Looking further up, his eyebrows were sharp, and his long hair was draped over his shoulders. Looking at his face, he was truly masculine and tyrannical, with a dignified appearance, and every move he made exuded the aura of a natural born emperor. Although Yuan Hao was Emperor Dong Wu, when compared to him, it was like the difference between a grain of rice and Haoyue.

Those eyes were bright like the stars in the sky, the evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of aggression. Those wide strides made people think of two words, "A monarch descended upon the world!"

"Danger!"

Wu Yu was practicing his Diamond Indestructible Physique while visualizing the heart ape. His perception was like that of a wild beast's, and when he encountered a dangerous opponent, he would have the same feeling as a cat exploding its fur. This tyrannical young man in front of him caused him to feel a deep sense of threat.

"I never thought that there would be people like senior apprentice sister Su and senior apprentice brother Mo in Wu City!"

Wu Yu was inwardly shocked.
